Beltane Blessings Blossom Salad Recipe

Beltane Blessings Blossom Salad Recipe May 2, 2015

Beltane is upon us… May Day, Maypoles, May wine, everything is in bloom and the time is ripe for love. It is a time for decadence and enjoyment… I can’t think of the day without being reminded of the famous song from the film Camelot sung by Vanessa Redgrave. Vanessa Redgrave singing, now that’s something you don’t see everyday.

The Lusty Month of May

 

Blooms are all around us now, and many don’t realize that the violets and dandelions in their garden are also edible. Magickally they are said to bring love and romantic blessings. Please share this recipe with those that you love.
